Behavioral ecology assignment

I created the Hirtodrosophila mycetophaga Wikipedia page after noting that there had previously not been one. I found limited information for the page on general information (e.g. description, physiology, etc.) and would love some assistance on these sections in particular. The remaining sections on which I was able to find information include: habitat, food resources, extensive information on mating-- leks in particular, social behavior, and role in conservation. Please provide any and all feedback on the page. Thank you! AnuBalasubramanian (talk) 23:13, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Anu, this is a really great article! I made some minor grammar/word choice edits and rephrased a few things. I also deleted a statement saying that males on the leks may offer non-genetic benefits, since by definition in a lek they should not be offering any direct benefits to females. Otherwise this was a fantastic article and there really wasn't much to be improved! EllyGrant (talk) 17:09, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Anu! This is a really thorough, comprehensive entry on this fly! I edited a few grammar and phrasing things as well as linked a few more words throughout the entry to existing Wikipedia pages. I think expanding the "Description" section and adding a "Life History" section would improve the article even further (and adding a picture of the fly)--but otherwise, really nice job!

Hello! This a really well-written article. It has great coverage of several different topics. I made a couple of small changes such as adding a couple of hyperlinks to the article that I felt were necessary for a reader to have to be able to understand certain areas. Moving forward to suggestions I would go back and add citations to the leading section of the article. Sticking to citations, I am not the Wikipedia expert in my group, but I was wondering if it is necessary to cite the same source after every sentence in a paragraph such as the first one for lek behavior. Apart from that, I felt that the article is well written and concise and I cannot wait to see where it goes. Keep up the good work! Srivera2019 (talk) 05:51, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
